Hi,
I've noticed some differing behavior when using file externals and svn info
-r committed. I'm not sure what the expected behavior should be... hoping
to see what the masses think. I'm running svn 1.8.13 on Windows 7.
When I first create a file external and perform an update, the "svn info -r
committed foo.c" provides a response. After an additional update, with no
changes to the working copy (or repo), the "svn info -r committed foo.c"
gives an error of 'foo.c' has no committed revision. It appears the update
which adds the external creates a different state then the updating of an
already file external. I'm fine with the behavior, but curious about about
why and perhaps there could be other latent issues.
Thanks,
Dan
Here's a simple batch file to reproduce:
svnadmin create c:\project_files\test_repo
svn checkout file:///c:/project_files/test_repo c:\project_files\test_wc
cd c:\project_files\test_wc
echo test > foo.c
svn add foo.c
svn commit foo.c -m "test commit"
svn update
svn ps svn:externals "foo_external.c
file:///c:/project_files/test_repo/foo.c" .
svn update
svn info -r committed foo_external.c
rem This works
svn update
svn info -r committed foo_external.c
rem This does not
And a snippet of the output....
c:\Project_files\test_wc>svn ps svn:externals "foo_external.c
file:///c:/project_files/test_repo/foo.c" .
